The UN Human Rights Council (HRC) said on its social network X that returning to the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia is now more important than ever. “It is imperative that Azerbaijan and Armenia return to the peace process - after the very disturbing events on Tuesday, especially the consequences of the renewed use of armed force. This is needed more than ever. Full compliance with international law is of paramount importance,” the organization said. Earlier today, Azerbaijan՛s Armed Forces unleashed military aggression against Nagorno Karabakh, using artillery and other heavy weapons. They attempted to penetrate into the depth of the defense line of the Defense Forces of Nagorno-Karabakh. Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, has come under heavy shelling now. The Human Rights Defender of Nagorno-Karabakh, Gegham Stepanyan, reported that there are multiple casualties and injuries among civilians, including children.
